The heavy rail tracks will be extended via a tunnel from 4th and Townsend to boarding platforms on the lower level of the new terminal. If and when HSR is built, it would use the same tracks and tunnel to the same level of the building. Whether it would have it's own boarding platform, I don't know and all the descriptions of the project I have read are a bit coy about that. Since the plans for HSR are still pretty vague and the terminal is due to start construction in 2008, my guess is they would not want to designate anything for HSR that couldn't also be used by CalTrain until HSR becomes a reality--or if it never does.
